Chapter 521: Frustrated

“You, did Gu Shaoting send you here?” Ye Xiaomeng suddenly remembered to ask.

“Yeah,” Shu Pan glanced outside, sighed, thinking it would be like a scene from a TV drama where they could hug goodbye, but who knew it would end up like this? Chaotic and messy.

They hurried onto the plane and settled into first class. Shu Pan immediately took out her phone, finding a message from Gu Shaoting, “Send me a text when you arrive in Singapore.”

“Okay,” Shu Pan quickly replied. Looking at the message, she smiled sweetly, although his face just now was grim, he still cared about her deeply.

What to do? She seemed to be missing him a bit. If Xiaomeng knew her thoughts, she would surely tease her for being sentimental.

Sure enough, Xiaomeng noticed her, “Look at you, smiling like a fool.”

Shu Pan chuckled, “It’s my first time traveling far, and a man who isn’t my dad sent me a text to check on me. Can’t I be happy about it?”

Xiaomeng shook her head with a smile, “I know you’re lovey-dovey, don’t tease me.”

“Don’t you and He Ming love showing affection more?” Shu Pan remembered how they often made her feel like a third wheel.

Xiaomeng suddenly smiled with complexity, in fact, they had a fight yesterday.

Yesterday, Xiaomeng told him that she and Shu Pan were going on a trip, which surprised He Ming because she hadn’t mentioned it before. It wasn’t a big deal, going out to relax was fine, but Xiaomeng said she needed to calm down and think carefully about whether their relationship should continue.

This sentence irritated He Ming. Xiaomeng had such a negative attitude towards their relationship all along.

Wasn’t he trying hard enough?

He angrily pounded the wall with his hand, making it bleed.

Xiaomeng was a bit scared at that moment and hurriedly helped him bandage it.

He Ming hugged her, solemnly swearing, “I won’t marry anyone else in this lifetime but Ye Xiaomeng.”

At that moment, Ye Xiaomeng was touched to the point of tears mingling with her smile.

But deep down, she felt a bitter pang because she knew there were too many objective reasons standing between them, issues that couldn’t be solved just by their efforts.

After that, Ye Xiaomeng dared not provoke him further. They settled into silence, and today, He Ming insisted on driving her to the airport. She remained silent throughout the journey.

Her mind was in turmoil, unsure of what to do, hoping that her trip would bring some clarity.

“Xiaomeng, what’s wrong?” Shu Pan noticed her lack of response and nudged her with her hand.

“Nothing, I’m just happy for you. Gu Shaoting really cares about you now, he loves you,” Ye Xiaomeng replied.

Shu Pan smiled as she leaned her head on Xiaomeng’s shoulder.

Truly, seeing Shu Pan at this moment made Ye Xiaomeng’s inexplicable melancholy disappear.

Perhaps this world was just like that, filled with trials and happiness, and what was meant for you would eventually come.

“Oh right, did you exchange for the new currency?” Ye Xiaomeng asked Shu Pan.

Shu Pan blinked, shaking her head, completely surprised by the question.

“I knew it. It’s okay, I exchanged some. I’ll give you a few when the time comes.” With that, Ye Xiaomeng took out a few notes from her wallet and handed them to her.

Shu Pan took them, glanced at them, and then planned to put them back into her own wallet.

“Huh, when did my wallet get so bulging?” Shu Pan asked, puzzled.

Furrowing her brow, she opened her wallet and suddenly widened her eyes. Inside were various notes of Singapore dollars. Shu Pan was truly taken aback.

Then she noticed there was a small note inside.
